Hey all,
I've seen some previous super friendly and very informative posts on here. I was wondering if anyone would be willing to go over this spec for me, and advise/suggest alterations.
I'm a young professional, transitioning from work-only Macs into the gaming world, looking for my first gaming PC. (I play mostly older games, but would like to be able to try and get into modern/new games )
My current monitor is Dell P2721Q, will add a gaming monitor in the future.
I like the esthetics of the Lian Li 215 case (Though willing to consider other options), and I've fallen victim to the RGB layouts as they scream gamer setup compared to my regular office mac layout.
I was looking into adding the three extra case fans with RGB - more for aesthetic purposes?
Was wondering if they can harm the air-flow in any way, making them redundant and harmful?
I was aiming for 1500-1700 budget - The current build is around 1750.
